Toia Mai 

Toia mai1 te waka nei

Kumea mai te waka nei

Ki te takotoranga i takoto ai

Tiriti2 te mana motuhake3

Te tangi a te manu e4

Pīpī-wha-rau-roa5

Kui! Kui! Kui!

Whitiwhiti ora!

Hui e, tāiki e.

Haul this canoe

drag the canoe up here

to its resting place;

the Treaty gives us our autonomy.

May the cry of the bird,

the shining cuckoo

- Quee! Quee! Quee! -

signal a change for the better.

Draw together, become intertwined!

Kumea kumea totia  

i te Kokoma i te kokoma (one, two)

Ko te hau tapu e rite ki te kaina Matariki (pakia)

Tapa reireia koia tapa

Tapa konunua koia ana tukua hi aue hi (boys go to ground)

Leader: ko te iwi Māori e ngunguru nei

All boys: Hi au au aue Ha Hi 

Leader: ko te iwi Māori e ngunguru nei

All boys: Hi au au aue Ha Hi 

Leader: i a ha ha!

All boys (standing): ka tu te ihi, ihi ka tu te wanawana

ki runga i te rangi e tu iho nei, tu iho nei

Kumea kumea totia HI!
